10 Advanced C++ Interview Questions

and Answers

1. What is a mutable storage class specifier? How can it

be used?

A mutable storage class specifier is used only on the class’s non-static and non-constant
member variables. It’s used for altering the constant class object’s member by declaring it. This
can be done by using a storage class specifier.

You can’t use the mutable specifier with names declared as static or const or reference
members.

3. What is an abstract class in C++?

An abstract class in C++ is referred to as the base class, which has at least one pure virtual
function and is designed to be specifically used as a base class.
You declare a pure virtual function by using a pure specifier ( = 0 ) in the declaration of a virtual
member function in the class declaration.

4. Can we have a string primitive data type in C++?

A primitive type is a data type where the values it can represent have a straightforward  nature
(a number, a character, or a truth value). The primitive types are the most basic building blocks
for any programming language and are the base for more complex data types. 

5. What is the function of scope resolution operator in

C++?

The scope resolution operator refers to the out-of-scope global variable or member function. It’s
denoted by the double colon (::) symbol.

Functions of the scope resolution operator include the following:

They help to resolve the scope of various global variables.

When defined outside the class, a function allows associating the function with the class.

6. What are the C++ tokens?

Generally, a token is an object that represents something else, such as another object (physical
or virtual), or an abstract concept, such as a gift, sometimes referred to as a symbol of the
giver’s respect for the recipient.

A token is a name given to various functions in C++ programs. Examples of tokens include a
keyword, symbol, string literal, identifier, constant, etc.

7. What is the diamond problem?


The diamond problem in C++ occurs when two superclasses of a class have a common base
class, representing the inability of the programming language to support hybrid inheritance
using multipleForand

hierarchical inheritances.

8. What is a block scope variable?

Block scope is the definition of a variable within a block of code, such as a for loop or if
statement, and a variable specified as a block using C++ that can be declared anywhere within
the block.

9. How is the data hiding concept achieved in C++?

Access specifiers define how members of a class (attributes and methods) can be accessed.

C++ supports data hiding and, accordingly, data abstraction and encapsulation by creating
user-defined types known as classes. Members of this generated class are scoped by keywords
known as access specifiers.

10. What is a “translation unit” in C++? 
